THUS YOUNG DAVID PIPED HIS SHEEP TO FOLD
Many of these quaint instruments, forerunners of modern church
organs, are still made by Palestine shepherd boys from the reeds that
grow about the fountains, though the better ones are fashioned from the
bones of eagles' wings. The music is eery but strangely appealing, a
sort of haunting, plaintive minor.
